Chapter 485: Potato Ciba

"Brother, can you eat the purple radish?" Fan Ming poked his head into the bedroom and asked.

Zhang Taiping took a rare nap today, opened his eyes and looked at the sunlight streaming in from the window, and asked, "What time is it?"

Fan Ming looked back at the alarm clock hanging on the middle wall and replied, "It's nine o'clock."

"It's nine o'clock? I slept really long this time." He patted his head and asked, "What did you just say?"

Fan Ming raised the purple radish in his hand and said, "There is a purple radish, do you want to eat it?"

Last night, Zhang Taiping took out a few purple-heart radishes from the space, but he was full of other things, so these two radishes were left behind.

"You don't want to eat radish, you can eat it." Zhang Taiping waved his hand and said.

After Fan Ming closed the door and went out, Zhang Taiping didn't put on any clothes. He sat down on the edge of the kang and turned on the computer. First he checked QQ. There was a profile picture in it that was always dark. Although he knew it couldn't light up, he always checked it every time he went online.

Will take a look.

I casually closed QQ, opened the web page, and searched for some information about pig raising and how to build a pig house.

It's a pity that most of them are small pig houses, and the construction methods of large pig houses are simply not available on the Internet.

It seems that we need to find an expert to come to the village to provide guidance.

After I got dressed and went outside, I saw a group of old hens fighting for circles of purple radish skins in the yard.

After doing some exercise, I went into the kitchen after washing up. Everyone was in the kitchen, but steam was rising from the big pot, so I knew that breakfast was being heated without even thinking about it.

The most common polenta, two fist-sized buns, and a bowl of pickled cabbage can bring out the warmth and the most sincere feelings in the world.

I walked around the house but didn't see anyone. I went to the south side of the pond and looked around, but there was still no sign of anyone. All the people, big and small, had disappeared. Only the ghostly face was lying lazily under the south wall, basking in the sun.

When he saw Zhang Taiping, he wagged his tail.

Xiao Xi, who was jumping up and down on the lotus leaf and swallowing the dewdrops, saw Zhang Taiping and flew over like an arrow. When she got closer, she fluttered her wings and landed lightly on his shoulder.

"Chiji." He moved his little head flexibly and gently pecked the hair beside his ear.

Zhang Taiping understood what it meant. He opened his hand and a few wet strawberries appeared in the palm of his hand.

The little guy chirped happily again, then landed on his palm and pecked a few strawberries.

Zhang Taiping put Xiao Xi on his shoulder again, wiped the strawberry juice on his hand and asked, "Where is your master?"

The little guy tilted his head and paused for a while, as if thinking, and then suddenly flew into the air and flew towards the outside of the yard.

Zhang Taiping smiled and followed it towards you outside.

Xiao Xifei was ahead, stopping on the tree from time to time to see if Zhang Taiping was following him, and did not stop until he reached the center of the village.

Zhang Taiping also saw a group of people lined up in a long queue, and each person was holding two basins in their hands.

After getting closer, I found that the pots were all full of potatoes, and some were steaming, which was obviously steamed.

"It's just steamed, do you want to try it?" A person said politely when he saw Zhang Taiping looking into the basin.

Zhang Taiping shook his head and said: "No." He pointed to Cai Yazhi's figure in front and said, "It's also steamed."

Cai Yazhi, who was at the front of the team, was also holding a basin. Judging from the situation, it must be steamed potatoes. Fan Ming was holding an empty basin and standing next to Da Nier, talking and laughing.

In front of the crowd was a huge stone with a foot-deep hole dug in the middle. Someone was smashing it hard with a hammer and putting steamed potatoes into it while smashing it.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Taiping remembered that he was smashing rice cakes.

Speaking of this glutinous rice cake, although it was invented by a countryman, it has been spread widely throughout the country. Moreover, the customs and customs of each place and the time for making glutinous rice cake are also different.

People in most areas are accustomed to making glutinous rice cakes in the twelfth lunar month.

Ciba was once one of the must-have foods for every household in Xinyang during the Chinese New Year. A few years ago, every household made glutinous rice cakes, and relatives and neighbors came to help.

Every household in the countryside of Minqing is equipped with wooden pestles, stone mortars and other tools for making glutinous rice cakes. During the Spring Festival, every household will beat glutinous rice cakes. At this time, the children happily gather around to watch the big rice cakes.

People beat the glutinous rice cakes until they saw the adults put the beaten glutinous rice cakes in the basin and rolled them into balls. The fragrant golden and translucent glutinous rice cakes were so delicious that they wanted to eat them right away.

Eating glutinous rice cakes takes a lot of effort. The glutinous rice cakes are sticky and thick and cannot be broken into pieces. However, country people like to eat large pieces of meat and drink heavily. Naturally, they also like to roll the glutinous glutinous rice balls into giant balls so that they taste delicious. This bitterness

The gentle city dwellers, faced with these giant glutinous glutinous rice balls, really want to eat them but are afraid of them being sticky, and even more afraid of not being compatible with them.

Ya was laughed at. But the chef thought of this and refined the traditional glutinous rice balls into apple-sized pellets, which can still be broken and eaten without losing the original characteristics. However, if you want to taste the sticky glutinous rice balls,

To taste, it is best to try eating big glutinous glutinous rice balls, accompanied by large pieces of pork and a large bowl of soju, to experience farm life, which is unique and interesting.

Sichuan people make glutinous rice cakes before the Mid-Autumn Festival, which symbolizes harvest, happiness and reunion. It is a must-have product as famous as moon cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival. In some folk places in Sichuan, osmanthus is added to glutinous rice cakes and pounded to make laurel glutinous rice cakes, which are dipped and fried.

Eating soybean noodles and white sugar, the taste is quiet and elegant, sweet and refreshing, and has a unique flavor.

In other places, cooked red beans and other bean products are wrapped in hot glutinous rice cakes, add an appropriate amount of salt, cut into oval-shaped pieces and deep-fried in cooked vegetable oil. The resulting red bean oil glutinous rice cakes have excellent color, aroma and taste.

Guanzhong and Sichuan are closest to each other, so the time is almost the same, but there are still some differences. Sichuan is before the Mid-Autumn Festival, while Guanzhong is on the day after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The more important difference is that in other places, glutinous rice is used to make glutinous rice cakes, but in the Guanzhong area, especially the mountain people, they are accustomed to using potatoes to make glutinous rice cakes. In fact, after all, it is still glutinous rice, and potatoes are indeed everywhere in the mountains and plains.

If glutinous rice is used to make glutinous rice cake, the production process will be exquisite.

After steaming the good glutinous rice, beat it hard with a pestle until the glutinous rice is completely melted and resembles a cotton ball. Then take out the glutinous slurry and make it into a ball, put it in a steamer and steam it. Water glutinous rice cakes are usually filled with fillings, such as beans.

Seed paste, lotus seed paste, sesame and osmanthus sugar, etc., the texture is fine and pliable, white and crystal beautiful, and it is as hot as it comes out of the cage.

Steaming, and then coated with some white sugar or cooked soybean flour, it is even more delicious and fresh, with a smooth and sweet texture. However, it is much simpler for mountain people to make glutinous rice cakes with potatoes, and there are not so many condiments to make. But even if it is simple

The preparation method makes it strong and refreshing after coming out, making it an excellent local delicacy.

"Pah...pah..."

At this moment, two people were pounding the stone trough with wooden mallets on the land sale site, and the woman next to them kept putting potatoes into it.

Beating glutinous rice cakes looks easy, but it is not easy. Generally, beginners' mallets will either get stuck and cannot be lifted up for a while, or they will "fight" with each other for a while. After a while, they will feel that their arms are weak and weak. Strong.

It is said that beating glutinous rice cake is actually a technical job, which requires speed, accuracy, stability and ruthlessness, so that it can be beaten evenly, solid, sticky and tough.

An old man and a young man, you and I, you and I, even though it is autumn and no longer hot, both of them are shirtless and sweating constantly.

We finally arrived at Zhang Taiping's house. Cai Yazhi originally wanted to fight with Zhang Taiping, but Zhang Taiping didn't let her do it.

Generally speaking, one reason why two people are needed to shoot is that two people can shoot evenly by opening the bow from left to right. Another reason is that this job is too tiring, and it is too much for one person to swing the hammer continuously. But these are not problems for Zhang Taiping.

Seeing that he was about to pick up two wooden hammers alone, Wang Laoqiang came forward and said, "Let me help you."

Zhang Taiping shook his head and said, "I will come alone."

"How can you use two hammers by yourself?" Wang Laoqiang asked in confusion.

Zhang Taiping smiled and said, "Just watch."

After hearing this, Wang Laoqiang took two steps back. Zhang Taiping began to hold two wooden mallets on the left and right, and began to wave them like the wind.

Only the sound of snapping could be heard. Zhang Taiping waved the two mallets to the left and right, not slower than the two people. Moreover, he waved his hands and feet while circling around the stone trough, thus solving the problem of unevenness.

.

The villagers nearby were stunned for a while. No one had tried this before, but they couldn't swing it after a while. But looking at Zhang Taiping, the more he swung the moon, the more energetic he became, and the speed became faster and faster.

Maintaining this speed, he finished beating the glutinous rice cakes, and then helped Wang Laoqiang, Wang Peng, and Lu Feng's family beat the rice cakes, and they didn't look tired at all.

After he stopped, an old man patted him on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up and said, "The handsome man has a great body!"

On the way to Hui, Zhang Taiping asked: "Why don't you see anyone else?"

Cai Yazhi replied: "Sister Xing said that she was going to the city to do some things today, and she took a few girls into the city for a walk."

Zhang Taiping nodded and asked Fan Ming next to him: "Why didn't you follow me?"

"What fun things are there in the city? I'm not going there. It would be great to let Da Nier tell me about things in the university at home." Fan Ming said, wagging a dog's tail grass and rolling her beautiful eyes.

I don’t know who I learned the eye-rolling action from, but whatever action a beautiful girl makes is pleasing to the eye.

Cai Yazhi asked: "What do you plan to eat for lunch?"

The glutinous rice cake is soft when it is first beaten out. It is placed in a basin and becomes one piece when it cools down. There are many ways to eat it. It can be fried, boiled, roasted, boiled with sweet wine and sugar, or

Can be heated in a microwave oven.

"Sichuan rice cake." Zhang Taiping replied.

The so-called "Sichuan glutinous rice cake" is to cut the cooled glutinous rice cake into two centimeter pieces, and then put them together with vegetables. It comes out hot and delicious.

Cai Yazhi nodded: "But there are no more steamed buns. Let's make a pot helmet first when we get back."

Fan Ming pointed to the glutinous rice cake in the basin and asked, "Can this be eaten now?"

Zhang Taiping nodded: "Of course it's okay, these potatoes are already steamed."

"Then let me try a piece?" Fan Ming curled her fingers and said.

"Try it."

Fan Ming dug out a small piece with her fingers and put it in her mouth, saying, "It's sticky and chewy, and it's delicious." After collecting it, she dug out a piece.

Cai Yazhi said with a smile: "If you like to eat it, you can cool it down first after you go back. It will be good to eat."

Fan Ming clapped her hands and applauded.

Most of the glutinous rice cakes in Guanzhong are made with potatoes, and the glutinous rice cakes sold outside are made in these two ways. The price is not low, a small bowl costs at least four yuan, and in some places it even sells for eight or ten yuan.

.

Zhang Taiping said: "Glutinous rice can also be used to make glutinous rice cakes."

"Glutinous rice can also be used?" Cai Yazhi was surprised.

Zhang Taiping nodded: "Of course, most other places use glutinous rice to make glutinous rice cakes. There are many varieties of glutinous rice cakes, and there are many ways to eat them. Only in the Guanzhong area, potatoes are used to make glutinous rice cakes."

"I don't know. If I know, I'll make some glutinous rice cakes."

"Using glutinous rice to make glutinous rice cakes, the preparation time is a bit long in the early stage. When you go back, you soak some glutinous rice. After soaking for three days, take it out and steam it thoroughly in a steamer. Finally, beat it in a stone trough like potato glutinous rice cakes.

It is sticky and the baked glutinous rice cake is more delicious than potato glutinous rice cake." Zhang Taiping said.

"I can't do it." Cai Yazhi said a little embarrassed.

Zhang Taiping waved his hand nonchalantly and said: "You only need to prepare the rice, and I will do the cooking method. Or when you are free, you can also go online to check the cooking method. There are many online. In the future,

If you don’t understand something, just go online and look it up, and you can basically look it up.”

Cai Yazhi nodded.

When Fan Ming wasn't paying attention, Cai Yazhi asked in a low voice: "Is the glutinous rice in there ripe?"

Zhang Taiping said: "When they are ripe, I have collected them and put them all in the bamboo building."

After returning home, Zhang Taiping took out part of the glutinous rice from the space. Cai Yazhi found a large basin to soak the glutinous rice before cooking.

During lunch, Zhang Xiuxiu and Xiao Yuer were also called over to have a rare meal together.

"Oh? Potato glutinous rice cake!" Zhang Xiuxiu said in surprise. It seems that she is also from Guanzhong and knows the local specialty, because this thing is made in a special way. If she were not a local, she would not be able to guess what it is when she eats it for the first time.

Seeing the potato glutinous rice cake, the old man felt a little nostalgic. He held the bowl and was stunned for a while before saying: "Let's put some on the memorial table in the back room later. Your grandma and your father liked to eat this at that time."

After hearing this, Cai Yazhi quickly got up, took a bowl, filled a bowl and carried it to the back room.

The old man also felt that his inexplicably emotional words had made the atmosphere a bit heavy. He picked up the bowl and said with a smile: "I'm going out for a walk."

In the village, it is very common to walk around with a bowl in hand while eating, so no one pays attention to it.

After the old man left, Fan Ming said: "It's really delicious."

Zhang Taiping smiled and added a lot of chili peppers to himself. After stirring, the soup on top turned red. This did not contain any chemical pigments and was the color of pure natural chili peppers.

Fan Ming took a breath and said, "There are so many spicy things. Don't you think it's spicy?"

Zhang Taiping replied: "The spicier it is, the more flavorful it is. Why don't you try it too?"

"No, no." Fan Ming quickly shook her head. She turned her eyes towards Xiao Yu'er and asked, "Does Xiao Yu'er want spicy food?"

Xiao Yuer smiled and shook her head.

When Wukong wasn't paying attention, Fan Ming quickly picked up a piece of spicy food and put it into his bowl. Then he quickly picked up his own bowl and left the table.

Wukong had suffered from this spicy food. Knowing how powerful it was, he immediately screamed angrily. However, he did not dare to throw away the rice in the bowl because Zhang Taiping hated waste the most at home.

Most of the spicy food could only be picked out, but a small part still melted into the bowl. The spicy dinner made Wukong sweat all over his face and his eyes turned red.

But the culprit was squatting in front of the ghost face and laughing loudly, which made Wukong, who was filled with anger, unable to get fit.
